Synopsis

In this moving and profound novel, Sigurd Hoel explores belief and traitorism through the major character's memories of the underground during World War II in Norway. At the dark center of this work are questions of why certain individuals turn against their own country, their own values, and their own "selves" so to speak. But in this weaving of fact and fiction, the faithful and the traitors are not necessarily easily distinguishable. A wonderful tale of adventure and a country's fate by the author of The Road to the World's End (Sun & Moon Press) and The Troll Circle.

Sigurd Hoel was for years an editor of the great Norwegian publishing house Gyldendal. He died in 1960.

About this title

Synopsis:

This is a moving and profound novel exploring Norway's resistance movement during WWII. Sigurd Hoel explores patriotism and treason through the major characters' memories of the Resistance Movement in Nazi-occupied Norway during World War II. At the dark centre of the work are questions of why certain individuals turn against their own country, their own values, their very selves. Hoel, who was himself active in the Resistance, has created a complex web of fact and fiction in which the "good" Norwegians and the traitors are not always easily distinguishable. This is an absorbing tale of adventure, set in a fateful time, by the author of "The Road to the World's End" and "The Troll Circle".
